Campaign against 'Mega Mosque' goes online

The campaign against the proposed East London 'Mega Mosque' has gone online at a new website:

http://www.megamosquenothanks.com

The website examines Tablighi Jamaat, the secretive Saudi-funded Muslim sect which wants to build the mosque, and provides information on the campaign to stop the construction of the mosque which will have a capacity of at least 40,000.

In November, supporters of the mosque project posted an apparent death threat against Alan Craig, a councillor for the Christian Peoples Alliance who has led the campaign against the mosque, on Youtube.

The short video, a mock obituary, was swiftly removed by the site. Police briefly arrested a man from Stevenage who had apparently produced the video and posted it online.

Speaking about the new anti-mosque website last week, Craig said that it had been launched to counter "misinformation and spin" by Tablighi Jamaat and its PR agency, Indigo Public Affairs.
